Took off the old coil-overs. Was hoping to have the rear Stances put in tonight but ran into an issue that I hope can be resolved over the phone. It looks like one of the adjusters is broke or something. ![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
ArabianNight: Did the texture ever scare you? I did my girlfriend's altima coupe grille last week and didn't figure out how to get it smooth until the can was nearly empty.
Arabiannight to solve the texture problem when you use the plasti dip leave the cans in warm water for 5 minutes and shake well, if you are using a used can make sure to clean the tip real well or put a new one on , and if you wanna have a little more shine to it I suggest getting plasti dip glossifier
I had my cooling system flushed and thought about getting the transmission flushed but decided against it due to it having almost 120,000 miles on her.
What did they think of the exhaust?Took it to the dealer today for an oil change, because it was cold and they have a really competitive oil change rate considering it's a dealer and all.
But literally every single employee who I interacted with mentioned how nice my car was. Even they know they don't make anything like this anymore.
Well Its always good to change the coolant after a while I don't have the full history on this car

I'm going to charge the fluid but heard a flush might mess it up.
If a flush messes it up you had problems to begin with.
Actually, the thinking is that if you don't flush/change the trans fluid at the interval and it goes more than 100K miles, that varnish and crap builds up in the seals. Fresh fluid then cleans all this crap out where it became part of the sealing system, and causes leaks inside (internal pressure leaks) and outside (your car's new nickname is Puddles) the trans. 100K with no change is the accepted time interval for this, if it's more than 100K then you may as well leave the old fluid in until rebuild time. No idea if this has actually been proven anywhere, or if this is something that used to be true but new fluids and materials has solved this problem, but this has been the accepted thinking on this for years.
The guy at Ford told me at a flush could loosen some stuff up and clog the valves.
Sold that bish today. Jumped in the air and clicked my heals.
Old school beliefs with old school fluids and mechanicals; like the 3K mile oil changes. The factory fill fluid is a semi-synthetic and is "supposed" to be changed at 150K miles. The only gunk that would be in the trans is deteriorating\failing parts that are somehow adhered to the trans case or stuck in the filter (which would not filter correctly at this point starving the trans of fluid). I would not hesitate to flush the the transmission and maybe even spring for a new filter.
